Probably best known for his exquisite duet with the sadly-missed Judy Clay (Private Number), William Bell is still belting out the tunes. This collection does a pretty fair job of showcasing his singing and songwriting talents. However, his 1967 album "The Soul of a Bell" is required listening too.

I saw, and met, dear old William when he played the Jazz Cafe in London last year. He was on top form, and sang his heart out - even though there were only a hundred people or so in the audience. He introduced "Sharleen from Texas" to sing Private Number with him. She sang it beautifully - and it was only then that we realised she wasn't from Texas, but in it....

William Bell doesn't get half the attention He should.this Set Highlights His Strong Vocals which Pre-date what Peabo Bryson was doing&also His Songwriting talents.very on point set.

5 Stars for William Bell, still sounding , and looking great as ever in the year 2006.. But Where is his biggest hit 'You Dont Miss Your Water'?, and 'Marching Off To War' , and' Eloise -Hang On In There'? , and 'Everybody Loves A Winner'?,and 'Never Like This Before'? This Seems to be a compilation of his later stuff . Some leasing of Masters needs to be done so we can REALLY get the best of William Bell, unless ,in addition , you purchase 'The Soul Of A Bell', CD which has some of these earlier tunes on there .
